What is the FAQ Feature?

The FAQ feature is your firm's knowledge base for email responses. When you add frequently asked questions and their answers, Ping's AI uses them as reference when drafting email replies—ensuring your responses are consistent, accurate, and aligned with your firm's standard answers.

How the AI Uses Your FAQs

When Ping drafts an email reply, it automatically checks your FAQ knowledge base for relevant information. If a client asks a question you've already answered in your FAQs, the AI will reference that answer in the draft.

Note: You don't need to do anything extra—just keep your FAQs up to date, and Ping handles the rest.

Tips for Great FAQs

  • Be specific: "What are your office hours?" is better than "Hours?"

  • Keep answers complete: Include all the details someone would need.

  • Update regularly: Remove outdated info and add new common questions.

  • Think like a client: What do they ask you repeatedly via email?

Would you like me to rewrite the "Tips" section as a checklist so your team can mark them off as they audit their drafts?
